What is causality
When things are said to have causes that lead to effects
100
What is Descriptive Design
This type of study does not involve any manipulation of variables and is meant to gain a clearer picture of the phenomenon before causality can be established

What is random variation
This refers to measurement values within a sample that may vary without direction; being lower or higher than the average of the population

What is Coding
The process of reading data, breaking text down into sub-parts, and giving a label to that part of the text
200
What is Probability
When causation is relative rather than absolute
200
What is Quasi-experimental
This study does not use control groups but instead uses comparison groups
200
The difference between the sample and the mean is seen in the same direction rather than variably
What is systematic variation
200
Utilizes several stages of sampling in an effort to link multiple elements of the identified population
What is cluster sampling
300
Hermeneutic Circle
Textual analysis emphasizes the social and historic influences on qualitative interpretation and exposes hidden meanings

What is Control
A study of preoperative teaching in which subjects are randomly selected and then randomly assigned to the experimental or control group is also known as
